Huntington National Bank is directing $300,000 to affordable housing and youth development in Memphis through its Community Foundation.
Huntington National Bank announced a $300,000 community investment commitment in Memphis, Tennessee, channeling funds through the Huntington Bank Community Foundation toward affordable housing, financial education, and career readiness initiatives.
The investment targets two local organizations: United Housing, which works to expand affordable homeownership opportunities in the Memphis area, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Memphis, a youth-serving nonprofit focused on academic support and workforce preparation for young residents.
